in concept the idea for the prime time 2026 catalog was great. having a page of cosmetics for each prime asset so you get a bunch of stuff for all of them was a good idea. however in hindsight they could've handled the twins' side of things a lot better and i'm still kind of salty about it.
first of all - it's tricky to have one page dedicated to two individuals. yes, they are the same prime asset but they are two different people with different interests, weapons, etc. it wouldn't be fair if the twins got two pages in the catalog and everybody else got one, so it's understandable why otto & arora share a page.
so, okay, you have them share a page. there are 5 items on each page so you can't exactly do a 50/50 split for who gets the items, but surely you could come close, right... but.
- the sleep room weapon replica
(and then they're both in the profile picture.)
the arora icon outline is great. i love it, it's used on my profile and i'm never taking it off unless we get another one themed around her. but.. there's a clear disparity between who gets the big important items, and who gets the tiny icon outline. i'm not going crazy right?? the main draw of this catalog was, arguably, the animations and accessories themed around prime assets. they usually get themed icon outlines in other catalogs anyway, they're far less exclusive than animations or sleep room items.
my point is that basically, otto not only hogged 90% of the catalog items, but he also got all of the exclusive and unique ones, whereas arora was relegated to a purple square border with two little graphics drawn onto it. i love otto, but like.. my favourite prime asset is the kress TWINS. there's two of them. if you're making a catalog that celebrates everyone's favourite prime assets, you can't just barely include arora. the average kress twins fan isn't going to only want otto-themed stuff. at least judging from the fanbase on this website, twins fans focus on arora either equally as much as otto or even more than him.
this whole post is kind of nitpicky but that just comes with being passionate i guess. anyway, here's hoping that the twins' third environment is arora-centric and most of that catalog is about her.
(i don't dislike otto, btw. my problem isn't that there's too much otto, it's that there's too little arora. i love both of them and want to see them represented equally in the game. ok??? no being mean to otto on this post)
